  • Premium Materials: Every lace is crafted for strength and colorfastness, resisting frays and fading even under heavy daily wear.

  • A Fit Engineered to Perform: Lace Lab laces stay tied and hold tension, providing your shoes with a secure and comfortable feel without the need for constant retying.

  • Classic Neutrals and Bold Colors: From subtle tones that blend seamlessly with your sneakers to statement shades like yellow that stand out, there’s a colorway to suit every style.

New Balance Shoe Laces: Sizing & Fit Guide

Finding the right lace length for your New Balance model primarily depends on the eyelets. Lace Lab makes it simple:

  • 5 to 6 pairs of eyelets: 45" laces, perfect for most mids and lifestyle sneakers.

  • 6 to 7 pairs of eyelets: 54" laces.

  • 7 to 8 pairs of eyelets: 63" laces.

For smaller models or tighter lace styles, you can also choose shorter options like our 30" reflective and classic laces or 36" laces. These are ideal for low-profile sneakers that don’t need the extra length.

The New Balance 550 typically requires 45" to 54" of length, depending on your lacing style. Count your eyelets, decide how snug or loose you want your laces to be, and select the length that matches.

If you’re not sure, measure your old laces against our chart to make sure you don’t miss on size. 

With the correct fit, your sneakers will feel secure without extra slack hanging loose, giving your pair a cleaner look and better performance.

New Balance Shoe Laces: Material & Durability

Your New Balance sneakers are built tough, and your laces should keep up. Lace Lab uses materials that make every pair last.

  • Flat laces in polyester or cotton: Crisp, durable, and perfect for everyday wear on classic models. They resist stretching and hold color, so your sneakers always look fresh.

  • Rope laces in nylon or polyester: A bit thicker, softer to the touch, and ideal for lifestyle sneakers where comfort meets bold style.

  • Waxed Finishes: Our Waxed Shoe Laces give your kicks a polished upgrade.

For runners or anyone seeking a standout streetwear look, our 3M Reflective Rope Laces shine brightly under light, offering both visibility and style.

Every Lace Lab lace is designed to handle abrasion, stay snug through movement, and perform just as well months in as they did fresh out of the package.

Expert Lacing Tips: How to Lace Like a Pro

Swapping in the right laces is only half the battle. The way you lace your shoes seals the deal. Try these popular techniques on your New Balance sneakers:

  • Ladder Lace: Structured, bold, and perfect for chunkier balance models like the 990v6.

  • Loose Lace: Skip the top eyelets for a casual, easy-going fit that works with lifestyle outfits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What length are New Balance shoe laces?

Length depends on eyelets, not just the model. 5 to 6 pairs usually need 45", 6 to 7 pairs work best with 54", and 7 to 8 pairs should use 63". 

If you want an exact match, lay out your old laces and measure them end to end for a quick comparison.

What laces does the New Balance 550 use?

The 550 typically uses flat sneaker laces around 120 cm (~47"). On Lace Lab, this translates to 45" to 54", depending on how snug or loose you prefer the lacing to be. 

Many sneakerheads opt for 45" for a tighter, classic look, while 54" is suitable if you prefer extra slack or looser styling.

How do I know what size laces to buy?

Count your eyelets or measure your old laces. Then check our chart to find the closest length. This way, your new laces will match your sneakers perfectly. 

If you’re between two sizes, choose the shorter for a cleaner knot.
